They were saying yesterday that this snow may be the biggest that Chitown has gotten since 1967. The funny story about that storm is that on that day in 1967 I was 16 years old and took the train from my home in Milwaukee to Chicago to take my amateur radio liscense test. I got there with no problem and started taking the test. They came in a few minutes later and said that they were closing due to weather. I begged them to let me finish since I came from 100 miles away to take it. Of course that didn't work so I left and went to one of the nearby museums. I wandered around there for a little while when suddenly a guard came chasing after me and said they were closing and I had to leave immediately. GEEEZ! I can get there all the way from WI and they can't even keep the buildings open. So I went home on the next train and had to return the next month.
